Is it reasonable to imagine that, while perhaps theologically insignificant, Christ’s earthly father, Joseph, also stood before the cross in deep sorrow? For a modern reader his absence from the gospels is very odd. I’d welcome any comments you have about this if possible. Or direction to other reading.
